Daily praise the earth proclaims,
Different voices, the sound the same.
The heav’ns high above the earth
Shout their Makers wondrous worth.
The earth’s sea with life abounds.
Thund’ring waters His praise sounds.
The storms show His mighty hand.
Floods destroy at His command.
Mighty oaks their black arms raise.
In homage they bring Him praise.
The maple paints brilliant hues.
Their beauty shows us the news.
The great horse with strength doth toil
Humbly helping work the soil.
Their patient strength a lesson
In work, by faith, to press on.
The dog waits his lord to see.
A companion and friend to be.
O that we so gentle be
To those in need that we see.
Come, ye saints, His praises sing.
To the hills let your songs ring.
Praise Him for His gift of love.
Bless Him in the heavens above.
